The Global Retinoblastoma Treatment Market Size is Anticipated to Exceed USD 3.8 Billion by 2033, Growing at a CAGR of 4.28% from 2023 to 2033.

Market Overview

Retinoblastoma is a disease in which malignant (cancer) cells form in the tissues of the retina. It is a pediatric cancer that requires careful integration of multidisciplinary care. The primary goal of retinoblastoma treatment is to save the patient's life and preserve useful vision. The six types of standard treatments used are cryotherapy, thermotherapy, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, high-dose chemotherapy with stem cell rescue, and surgery (enucleation). Oncolytic virus therapy treatment uses a virus that infects and breaks down cancer cells but not normal cells. An oncolytic adenovirus targeting the RB1 gene is injected into the tumor and may have anticancer effects in retinoblastoma. Advancement in the targeted delivery of chemotherapeutic drugs to the eye has improved the possibility of globe salvage. The increasing trend to use various approaches like novel drugs, oncolytic viruses and immunotherapy in the treatment of retinoblastoma, access to advanced knowledge on tumor biology and the drug response, and development of new routes of drug delivery leads to effective therapies in retinoblastoma The use of targeted delivery of chemotherapy to the eye in the form of selective intra-arterial and intravitreal chemotherapy has shown promising results, causing less harm to normal cells. Radiotherapy is beneficial in selected cases and a multimodal treatment protocol has improved survival in children with extraocular disease.

Driving Factors

Retinoblastoma is the most common intraocular malignancy. Its incidence has been reported to be 1 case in from 15,000 to 18,000 live births, or approximately 12, 6, or 4 cases per 1 million children younger than 5, 10, or 15 years, respectively. Thus, the increasing prevalence of retinoblastoma leads to drive the market demand for retinoblastoma treatment. The growing approach towards developing novel drug candidates for treating retinoblastoma and using innovative technology to study retinoblastoma (in the oncology field) is anticipated to drive market growth. The growing awareness about retinoblastoma by various government and private organizations the increasing number of funding for developing healthcare infrastructure and rising government initiatives are anticipated to further fuel the market demand for retinoblastoma treatment.

Restraining Factors

The associated side effects of retinoblastoma treatment are hampering the market. Further, the high cost required for the treatment affects the healthcare budget of the patient especially those who belong to the low-income class which ultimately leads to restrain the market. Further, the lack of awareness and inaccessibility to proper medical facilities in the healthcare system are responsible for restraining the market.

Market Segmentation

The global retinoblastoma treatment market share is classified into treatment type, type of retinoblastoma, and type of staging.

• The chemotherapy segment is expected to hold the largest share of the global retinoblastoma treatment market during the forecast period.   

Based on the treatment type, the global retinoblastoma treatment market is categorized into surgery, radiation therapy, laser therapy, cryotherapy, chemotherapy, bone marrow transplantation/stem cell transplant and targeted therapies & gene therapy. Among these, the chemotherapy segment is expected to hold the largest share of the global retinoblastoma treatment market during the forecast period. Chemotherapy is the most common treatment for retinoblastoma available in different ways to help children avoid surgery. The increasing number of cases and continuous advancements in chemotherapy regimes and drugs leads to drive the market in the chemotherapy segment.

• The non-hereditary segment dominated the market with the largest revenue share in 2023.

Based on the type of retinoblastoma, the global retinoblastoma treatment market is categorized into non-hereditary and hereditary retinoblastoma. Among these, the non-hereditary segment dominated the market with the largest revenue share in 2023. Children with non-hereditary retinoblastoma develop a tumor in one eye. Most of the retinoblastoma cases are non-hereditary. The development of a tailored treatment approach specifically designed for this segment of patients is driving the market growth.

• The intraocular retinoblastoma segment accounted for the largest revenue share of the global retinoblastoma market in 2023.

Based on the type of staging, the global retinoblastoma treatment market is categorized into intraocular retinoblastoma and extraocular retinoblastoma. Among these, the intraocular retinoblastoma segment accounted for the largest revenue share of the global retinoblastoma market in 2023. In intraocular retinoblastoma, a tumor is found in the eye and may be in the retina and other parts of the eye. Intraocular retinoblastoma has high incidence rates compared to extraocular cases, and growing the need for treatment leads to enhanced market demand in the intraocular segment.
